The Physiology Of Fishes, Second Edition

As with the best-selling first edition, this second edition is a comprehensive, state-of-the-art review of the major areas of research in modern fish physiology. International contributions from leading experts detail current knowledge of locomotion and energetics, gas exchange and cardiovascular physiology, homeostasis, and neurophysiology and neuroendocrine control. This remarkable volume includes a systematic index organised by genus and species, a feature that is crucial when dealing with a variety of fish species, enabling rapid access to information on topics unique to particular fish. The whole is backed by an in-depth subject index that is more comprehensive than many other books of this nature.
